Continuing with its expansion spree, Tribes India added more new products on Monday, one of the highlights being the beautiful handcrafted items made by the inmates of the Central Jail in Jagdalpur in Chhattisgarh.
All the new products introduced in the past few weeks are available in 125 Tribes India outlets, Tribes India mobile vans and on online platforms such as the Tribes India E-marketplace (tribesindia.com) and e-tailers.
Speaking on the occasion virtually, Pravir Krishna, Managing Director, TRIFED, said: “Our association with the Central Jail in Jagdalpur is another initiative to provide the tribals a bigger market for their handicrafts and produce and help them become self-reliant."
Sourced from different parts of the country, among the products launched on Monday include beautifully crafted statues and some Ketki baskets from the tribal inmates of Jagdalpur Jail.
These attractive statues of Ganesha, Lakshmi and Durga will not only make for gift items but will help make the tribal jail inmates self-reliant.
There are lampshades with Saura paintings and dokra diyas from the tribes of Odisha. From the tribes of the South, a new organic range of beauty products such as beeswax lip balms in different flavours (mint, lemon, vanilla) have been introduced.
